For Obi-Wan, it was love.

After being ignored and rejected all his life, simply the reassurance that he was loved was enough to soothe him. Qui-Gon would find him, hidden away in the Temple Gardens, tears streaming down his cheeks. He wouldn't move, wouldn't look at his master, refusing to even admit his weakness. He tried his best to hide the pain, in fear of being rejected once again from the only home, the only life, he had ever known. But when Qui-Gon found him, all he had to do was say, "I love you my padawan. I'm here, it's going to be alright." And Obi-Wan would fall into his arms, letting the tears fall unashamedly, holding tight to the one person who loved him, truly. "I will always be here for you, Obi-Wan."

For Anakin, it was hush.

When his emotions overwhelmed him, he needed the world to be quiet. The anger, the hurt, the pain would swirl inside his mind. They would never let him rest, never let him find peace. It drove him mad, as it would any man. Obi-Wan would hear his tantrums, walk into his room, and take him by the hands. At first, the boy would struggle and try to escape. Obi-Wan would simply hold him tighter and whisper. "Hush, Anakin. Just relax. Breathe." And Anakin would stop fighting. He would listen. He would breathe and give himself over to the one person who could take away the pain and make the world be quiet, if only for a moment. "I will never abandon you, Anakin."

For Ahsoka, it was safe.

Ahsoka's world was harsh and cruel. She had been thrown into the war as a child, and forced to grow up far too quickly. When the nightmares came, and the scars could not simply be soothed by bacta, a gentle hand always helped her heal. Anakin would find her, sitting by herself, trying to shake off the horrors that she witnessed, day in and day out. With one hand, he would knead the stress from her shoulders, while the other wrapped around her slight frame. "Just let go Snips. Don't be afraid. You're safe with me." And Ahsoka would let go, allowing herself to be vulnerable and scared and a child, if only for a little while, knowing that the only person she truly trusted would understand. "I will always protect you, Ahsoka"

Author's Note: This was a short drabble I wrote a few years ago, but I'm considering adding new chapters about the three generations. What do you think? Thanks for reading!
